The 12 feats of Hercules and their relation to the Emotional Intelligence and the role of ICTs in EI training and development.

This article is about Hercules, a hero from Greek Mythology who is considered to be the greatest of the heroes of ancient Greek mythology the most beloved and glorious throughout the world. He faced the anger of Hera which drove him mad and drove him to murder. To be led to purification, he was forced to serve his cousin Eurystheus and perform 12 labors. His efforts were a journey into the world of emotional intelligence, knowing both himself (self-awareness) and also shaping attitudes, values, and behaviors toward those around him (empathy) to reach self-realization.

Does the digital economy matter for higher education? The role of ICT and green innovations in top polluted economies.

The upsurge in information and communication technology is considered a key determinant for higher education. Moreover, green innovation is also the main catalyst of higher education. This research explores the role of information and communication technology and green innovation on higher education for the top 25 polluted economies from 2003 to 2020. This study considers the determinants of higher education (HE): economic growth, information and communication technology, green innovation, government expenditure, and carbon emission. The study employs FMOLS, DOLS, and MMQR tests to check the results of variables in this study. Economic growth, information and communication technology, green innovation, and government expenditure significantly impact higher education in this model. However, carbon emission has a negative impact on higher education. Moreover, the moderate effect of green innovation on information and communication technology, government expenditure, and carbon emission positively relates to higher education. In terms of outcomes, this study suggests how a country can maximize higher education.

Achieving a green university in the post pandemic era: Edo State University Uzairue experience

The complexity and dynamicity of our world calls for institutions to be more creative and research-driven to surmount global challenges in the education system. Institutions now need to be innovative and creative to be successful, but while the idea of success has changed, the education system especially in Africa has not always adjusted to its methods or goals to meet the ever changing world. In the pre COVID-19 era, many tertiary institutions within Africa did not perceive the need to adopt and invest in ICT education for teaching, learning and research. This unprecedented situation has shined a harsh light on the vulnerabilities, challenges, weaknesses of the Education system and our unpreparedness for a paradigm shift from the conventional teaching classroom methods to digital and then distance learning. In recent times, the campaign for adoption of sustainable practices within universities has been critically championed to prevent future occurrences of education disruption. In the post pandemic era, African universities should encourage the utilization of ICT technology to transform teaching and learning in order to improve on research and education to prepare students for unexpected occurrences like the COVID-19 pandemic, acquire settings and infrastructure to enhance teaching and learning, adopt a proper waste management policy to reduce climate change and promote all round sustainability as well as energy conservation. This work presents the institutional values and activities of Edo State University Uzairue (EDSU), Nigeria during the pre and post-covid 19 era with a strong understanding of the role of sustainability in achieving our goal. EDSU success story was also explored and presented in line with the role of ICT and learning management system for resource optimization and development of a green system through the adoption of energy conservation protocols, developing waste management policies, conservation of biodiversity and aligning with the global net zero emission initiative.

The role of ICTs in student’s emotional and behavioral difficulties

In the classroom, teachers deal with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues/disorders on a regular basis. Problematic conduct in school is a means for students to respond to events that happen in the classroom and to teachers' attitudes since behavior is perceived by subjective and social elements. This demonstrates the students' desire to have a deeper relationship with the teacher. The teacher is expected to help students improve their academic abilities and manage their emotions by coming up with answers in these trying adjustment circumstances. This article conducts a literature review on the management of emotional and behavioral difficulties/disorders in the classroom, the management of these by the teacher to prevent them, the impact of teachers' attitudes on students' behavior and academic achievement, the implementation of appropriate intervention programs, and the role of ICTs in controlling these difficulties/disorders.

Borderline intelligence, academic and social emotional development: The role of ICTs

The purpose of this study is to examine the cognitive deficits that children with borderline intelligence exhibit and where they are at a disadvantage in the social-emotional domain compared to their "typically developing" peers. Finally, an attempt is made to emphasize the need for special learning and social support, so that in the future children and adults with borderline intelligence can claim the same rights and opportunities. A total of 12 studies were recorded from the international literature that studied the particular cognitive and socio-emotional profile of children with borderline intelligence

Role of financial inclusion and ICT for sustainable economic development in developing countries

Sustainable economic development and its close link with financial inclusion have gained so much attention in the empirical literature in the past. However, with the advent of information and communication technology and its association with financial platforms, a system has emerged that offers new opportunities to fill the wealth gaps in the developing world. Empirical investigations are rare in the context of the developing region, and this study strives to fill this gap. We aim to investigate this link for developing countries based on innovation diffusion theory. For this purpose, we select an extended sample of 110 developing countries from 2004 to 2020. Through principal component analysis, we formulate composite financial inclusion and ICT indicators based on broader attributes. We employed Driscoll–Kraay standard errors (D-K), Generalized linear model (GLM), feasible general least squares (FGLS), and difference GMM to obtain compressive and consistent regression coefficients without the need to address temporal dependence and heteroscedasticity. The robust panel estimation illustrates a significantly positive effect of financial inclusion, information communication and technology and sustainable economic development. Our results hold for subsamples based on different income levels of countries. The policymakers are recommended to develop policies for an inclusive financial system and access to ICT on an equitable basis to ensure sustainable economic growth.

The Main Problems of Building the Digital Economy of Azerbaijan

In the article, the essence and main determinants of the digital economy, the methods of evaluating the level of digitalization, and the cross-country comparison of digitalization were made. The problems of creating a digital economy in Azerbaijan, and the current state of the main determinants of the digital economy in Azerbaijan were analyzed, and the role of ICT in the economy of Azerbaijan was evaluated in comparison with the countries of the region. The main result of the study is that the "production component" of the digital economy dominates in developed countries, while the "consumption component" dominates in developing countries. The increase in the share of both the "consumption component" and the "production component" of the digital economy in the total economy promotes the economic development of the country and the improvement of the welfare of the population. In Azerbaijan, the "consumer component" of the digital economy plays an important role in the development of the economy and in increasing the well-being of the population. However, there is a serious need to increase the necessary potential for the development of the "production component" of digital technologies and to increase the share of the digital economy in the country's economy at the expense of the "production component".

Sharing economy as a field: Revisiting debates and introducing new research avenues

AbstractThis article offers a state‐of‐art review of previous research in the field of sharing economy. It explores the definitional dilemma and presents the research field of sharing economy as a contested one. In an attempt to contribute to the numerous efforts of ordering, summarizing and characterizing sharing economy, the article further unpacks the debates driving the emergent sharing economy field. First, it is a debate on the role and place of ICT and platform technologies in sharing economy. Second, the article explores the role and place of economic interest in sharing economy, placing the empirical reality of sharing economy along a broad spectrum from for‐profit enterprises to non‐profit community sharing projects. Third, the paper analyses the question of ownership and its transfer in sharing economy, exploring its positioning vis‐à‐vis gift economy, and short‐term renting and lending. It further analyses relationships between stakeholders (private individuals and business actors) participating in sharing economy, presents the overview of literature on the three transactional models in sharing economy, Business to Consumer (B2C), Business to Business (B2B), and Peer to Peer (P2P). Finally, the paper suggests future research avenues. This study highlights the lack of research looking at sharing outside of the purview of market exchange. It is suggested that the definition of sharing economy and research in the field should focus on P2P activities. Furthermore, it is suggested that the configuration of the sharing economy should be understood from a field perspective. Field‐level studies of issues that bring together various actors in debates on sharing economy should allow for understanding further development of sharing economy.

Examining the role of ICT, transportation energy consumption, and urbanization in CO2 emissions in Asia: a threshold analysis.

ICT is viewed in earlier research as a double-edged sword that may either help or hurt the environment. Asian nations' ICT penetration has significantly expanded in recent years, and they are eager to bring about a digital revolution by building up their ICT infrastructure while consuming less energy for transportation and urban growth. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to investigate how ICT might reduce CO2 emissions through the use of transport energy and urban development. Empirical and theoretical debates have been remaining ambiguous and contentious topic of whether energy consumed by the transport sector and urbanization causes CO2 emanation in Asia, and what role ICT played in determining the level of CO2 remains unanswered. This study adds to the ongoing discussion for sustainable transportation in ten Asian nations for 30 years that concentrate on the relationship between the energy consumption of transport, urbanization, ICT, and carbon emanation (1990-2020) and checked the validity of EKC. The STIRPAT and panel threshold models having two regimes are used to explore the stochastic impacts of the dependent and explanatory variables. We have divided explanatory into two categories, that is, the threshold variable ICT and the regime-dependent variables urbanization and transport energy consumption. Our results confirm that the EKC hypothesis holds in these Asian economies. Thus, our findings indicate that the environmental quality improves in terms of reduction in CO2 emissions when ICT passes the threshold level due to the technological advancement in ICT dominating the scale effect induced by ICT. Furthermore, the possible policy recommendations are discussed according to the findings.

The effect of ICT on schools’ efficiency: Empirical evidence on 23 European countries

In the last two decades, ICT use in schools grew exponentially. In this paper, the relationship between ICT and school’s efficiency and the mechanisms through which ICT can enhance schools’ productivity are investigated, using PISA 2018 data for about 5400 schools. Empirically, we analyze school’s efficiency in producing ICT-mediated instructional time as well as final educational output, by implementing a network Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model. The analysis is complemented by a conditional DEA to account for the presence of possible external drivers of schools’ efficiency. Results show that the average schools’ efficiency in using ICT is relatively low, and that it is mainly driven by the ability of translating ICT-mediated instructional time into learning, rather than by the amount of ICT and human resources. This evidence is consistent across countries. By investigating the role of ICT in schools’ efficiency the paper provides insights to guide the transition of digital technology into learning.
